Great updates... this is taking way longer to start rising than i expected

Try not to get too frustrated. This building has had groundworks, pilling and foundations completed. It is now undergoing basement construction (rather swiftly I might add) and you can already see steelwork appearing at street level. Once basement construction is complete and the steel starts to rise (there is no concrete core) it will shoot up!! Remember how quickly the Heron Tower rose once steel erection began

Like I said above, we don't know how complex the basement works are, so perhaps it might actually be going at a fast pace. Besides, those steel pieces weren't there until recently.

the basement works are very complex and an innovative design which required meticulous attention to detail. the idea was to build the welfare and construction office facilities into the basement, along with a lorry loading area designed to keep the whole construction process almost within the footprint of the building, an important issue in the city where space is in short supply.

laing o'rouke produced an animated methodology of the whole construction plan for the building a few months ago which brilliantly illustrated just how complex and frankly clever this build will be, but i've searched, and i can't for the life of me find it again. if anyone does come across the video, please let me know.
